Deck Plays Tricks with the Luckless Trickett

[user46392]
[user46392]
As related to us by former tablemate Tim Blake, Trickett found himself short, and moved in with {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs} to a raise from Chris Elgie. Elgie called with pocket tens, and the flop came three clubs to give Trickett the flush -- but there was a queen on the flop as well, and two more queens on the turn and river gave Elgie a full house to up his stack to 10,000, while Trickett headed for the door.

Queens Hold for Lisandro; Trickett Crippled

[user4144]
[user4144]
A manic three-way all in saw UTG, Sam Trickett and Jeff Lisandro all push preflop with 2,000, 5,000, and 3,500 respectively, Lisandro with his nose in front with {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} versus Trickett's {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} and the short stacker's {A-Spades}{4-Clubs}. An {8-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} board later and the pot went to the triple bracelet winner.

Ferguson Extends Lead

[user46392]
[user46392]
We caught up with the action on the river of the {6-Spades} {Q-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {9-Clubs} board to witness a very sizable pot in the middle of the table and Chris Ferguson sitting with a bet of 5,000 in front of him. A wall of various media and railer types crowded around the table while Ferguson's opponent, a young gentleman sporting a Smurf t-shirt and an white iPod earphones, squirmed unhappily in the big blind position.

Eventually Ferguson's opponent passed, and Ferguson is up to 19,000 without the bother of having to show his hand.

Murrell Eliminated

[user4144]
[user4144]
Paul Murrell only had a couple of thousand at the time, but after reraising preflop from the cut-off, early position raiser Nicolas Levi decided to put him in for his remaining shrapnel with {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. Murrell showed {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}, and although the flop came {2-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, the turn brought the {6-Spades} to make the {9-Clubs} river academic.

Imminent Doom?

[user46392]
[user46392]
An interesting table is forming up on the mezzanine level. The table already featured Andrew Feldman (although he's now woefully short on just 2,000), David Docherty, and big stacks Antony Lellouche and Gary Pearce, but just now Arnaud Mattern has been added to the mix. Should be fun.
